mounting windows hard drive in ubuntu

[ilkjester]

So I was trying to access the windows hard drive on my laptop while on ubuntu. I would prefer not to have multiple files or wasted dvds with the books on the same computer different os. Anyways I ran into some problems and I am kinda stuck. Also debian and my atheros ar9285. I should probably start a new thread for that.

opps I thought it would paste the terminal in the code bin. Sorry I have never used it.

*Huh. Idk I tried #sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windrive -o “umask=022″ again and now it works yippe

good it works now....

to make it a little more comfy you can also do it via:

Code: Select all

gksu ntfs-config

if needed install ntfs-config via apt as usual....

Don't you mean... confy?

[bad_brain]

there's a little, but important difference between confy and comfy:
comfy: GUI
confy: no GUI
but comfy can also be confy at the same time, depending on the user preferences....damn, now I kinda confused myself...
